COMPONENT LOCATION
OVERVIEW
Becaus e of it s powerful engine, s ophi s ti cat ed transmis si on and t racti on s ys t em; the vehicle in the mos t demandingcondi ti ons will need t o cont inuall y dis s ipate as much as 120 kW of heat t o atmos phere. To compound the s i tuati on t hi st ypi call y occurs at low speeds when t here i s ins ufficient air being forced t hrough the radiat or t o ai d the cooli ng s ys t em.W i th thi s in mind and consi dering that t he majorit y of vehi cl es rarel y need to dis s ipate more t han 10 kW of heat , thecool ing s ys tem has been s peciall y devel oped t o cope wit h t he s everit y of off-road dri vi ng and variable ext remes of cl imat e.
The cool ing s ys tem functi ons us ing the cros s -flow pri ncipl e. The coolant is routed from t he cool ant pump int o the engi neblock on t he exhaus t s ide of t he engi ne and leaves the engine bl ock at t he rear edge, vi a t he t hermos tat housi ng, on theint ake si de.
The t hermos tat is a wax t hermos tat . The cool ant t emperat ure s ensor i s located i n t he thermost at hous i ng.
The cool ant i s pumped from the coolant pump t o t he engi ne through 2 connecti ons . After pass ing through t he engine,s ome of t he coolant exit s t he engi ne block at the rear edge of t he exhaus t s ide t o be routed t hrough t he pass engercompartment el ement and onwards to the coolant pump.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
At idl e, and l ow out door t emperatures (l ower t han -10°C (14°F)) the engi ne's idle s peed i ncreas es from approxi mat el y 650rpm t o approximat el y 750 rpm. Thi s is to increase the coolant flow t hrough t he pass enger compart ment element, whi ch, i nt urn, makes it pos si ble t o i ncreas e t he heat in t he pas senger compartment . The coolant pump i s dri ven by the powers teeri ng pump t hrough a flange.
Coolant Flow - Closed Thermostat
Coolant leaves the engine bl ock vi a t he 2 circui ts at t he rear edge on t he int ake side of the engi ne.
The cool ant i s rout ed from one of t he circui ts to t he engine's oi l cooler and onwards t o t he cool ant pump.Coolant is routed from the ot her ci rcuit t o a 'by-pass ' circui t where t here i s a valve. The val ve is cl osed at engines peeds up t o approximat ely 1500 rpm. At approximat el y 1500 rpm, the valve opens and cool ant pas s es through t hecircuit . By keepi ng t he val ve clos ed at low engine speeds, a suffi ci ent flow is guarant eed through the pas sengercompartment el ement to obt ain a good cl imat e (suffi ci ent heat) in t he pass enger compart ment .

Coolant Flow - Open Thermostat
W hen t he t hermos tat opens, coolant is al so rout ed to the radiatorThe radi at or has an inl et on the Ri ght Hand (RH) s ide and 2 out let s on t he left-hand si deThe great er volume of cooled coolant is routed at the radi ator's l ower out let t o the coolant pumpAt t he upper outl et some of the coolant is routed t o t he automat ic t rans mi ss i on's oil cool er. Before t he coolantreaches the oi l cooler, it pas ses a 'choke' circuit t hrough t he radi at or wit h a lower (s lower) fl ow t han other cool ant s .This provi des opt imum cool ing of t he cool ant before i t reaches the oi l cooler, whi ch in turn, provi des effect ivecool ing of t he transmis s ion oil . The cool ant i s rout ed from t he oil cooler onwards to t he cool ant pump.
Bleeding
The engi ne has 2 bl eed ci rcuit s connected t o t he expans ion t ank. One is l ocat ed on the radiat or and the ot her on thecyl inder head.
Radiator and Cooling Fan(s)
The radi at or, whi ch di s si pat es heat from t he engine cool ant and engi ne mount ed oil cooler, i s manufactured from a 27 mmalumi num mat ri x wit h hi gh-pres s ure i nject ion molded end t anks .
